My hen hatched out 7 chicks on Aug. 12-13th. I took them and have had them in the brooder. I was looking at them and noticed my favorite, Penguin, is VERY mature. I'v never seen a chick at 3 weeks with this much red comb and waddles. BTW their all mutt chicks.

So my homemade incubator didn't quite go as planned. So I was wondering if there is a cheap(less than $30) good incubator out there. One that isn't too hard to get a stable temp. How many it hold doesn't madder but bigger is better. Auto turner is a plus but not sure I could get one at this price.
